Feeding Tomorrow Ecologically

Ecofriendly Food from Cradle to Cradle

About this book

Reports from the United Nations indicate that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not meeting their targets, at least not according to the proposed timeline. Despite this, the world produces enough food to feed everyone. The crucial task remains to ensure equitable food distribution to those in need and reduce global food wastage.

Feeding Tomorrow Ecologically: Ecofriendly Food from Cradle to Cradle serves to support the top three SDGs: No Poverty, Zero Hunger, and Good Health and Well-Being. In this edited collection, authors delve into multifaceted aspects of global food systems. They examine the pivotal role of engineering throughout the food supply chain, from production to waste management, and its potential in fostering sustainable food security. Additionally, contributors investigate the evolution and perception of eco-friendly agriculture, focusing on adoption rates and attitudes, as well as diverse topics such as soil management, water reclamation, and policy. Through these varied perspectives, the chapters provide a comprehensive overview of challenges and innovations in shaping the future of food production and sustainability.

This edited collection brings together experts from farming, engineering, health sciences, policy, and other fields to provide insights into sustaining future populations with nourishing food. Scholars and professionals across various disciplines, including engineers, economists, scientists, sociologists, and marine conservationists, benefit from this work, which holds deep implications for food and economic systems.
